SM Librarian Biker for my Army!

[chevelle4]

This is my Librarian Biker that I've recently started working on. Bad picture quality I know but I'll have more up in a few hours. I used the Libby model with the force axe and plasma pistol and then used a model saw to cut off his legs, replacing them with some from a biker. The left arm is also from the same biker. I wanted to somehow express that his bike is special and belongs to a librarian so I decided to mount the book from the Dark Angels upgrade kit to the front of the bike. I'm considering making more changes, maybe a horned skull like the librarians all wear on their right shoulder so if anyone has any suggestions of where to find a cool looking one I'd appreciate it. I'll post more pictures as I work on painting him. as usual, criticisms and suggestions are more than welcome! thanks!

Looks good so far. I would suggest holding the camera further away.

Nice work so far mate. O would possibly suggest the Dragon skull from the Fantasy Giant Kit as a possible alternative for a horned skull. Should fit pretty nicely over the headlight and behind the book you've stuck down all ready.

Thanks. Yeah the pics are inexcusably bad. Snapped them off really quickly with my phone before I bolted out the door for work. I'll make sure some more detailed ones are added with the actual camera and get different angles and what not. I'm trying to figure out which color I'm gonna paint the bike because my other bikes are Shadow Grey but I'm worried that it will blend too much with the Librarian's armor. My other main army color is camo green but I'm not sure that would look good either. If anyone can think of a good color that would fit within a color scheme similar to that I'd appreciate the advice.

This is another WIP biker just to give an idea of what the colors look like. He obviously isn't close to done and so the main colors on the marine will be washed in badab black to darken them up.

So, what chapter is he actually for? I see the Dark Angel symbols, but the color combination wasn't really making any sense to me for it to be as such, so I figured I'd ask..lol

[chevelle4]

They're actually a Dark Angels Successor/Fallen Army. They have the same symbols but have changed their colors. heres some better pictures of the libby.

His axe got bent a little as my cat loves to play with my minis but I've fixed it.
